Its hard to say what he should have known or done. It was a tragic accident. That said, would I let my 9 y.o shoot a fully auto weapon? Hell no. I wouldn't even let my 15 y.o shoot it and they have had practice shooting before.

guns are dumb. nobody should have them aside from military & law enforcement. & Ion even like them nigguhs having it tbh. I think most ppl that choose those professions are trigger happy sadists anyway

-little evidence that the deceased, Charles Vacca, 39, is a firearms instructor with any certifications. He only completed his concealed carry class in March

-video of the event, taken by the girl’s parents

-If this story sounds vaguely familiar to you, it may be because you are remembering a 2008 incident where eight-year-old killed himself firing another Mini Uzi in Connecticut. Edward Fleury, a former police chief, had arranged the event where the child was allowed to fire the weapon, was found not guilty of manslaughter charges in that incident. The “instructor” in that incident was a 15-year-old boy.

Even if the minimum age is 8, as an INSTRUCTOR you should be wise enough to say "little Sally can't handle the UZI." He should have known the kickback was too much for her to handle and adjusted accordingly. If they want their 9 year old handling the UZI, why does it need to be done with real bullets? As an instructor I think you have some discretion no matter the rules. He obviously didn't even brace her for the first shot cause it went all over the place. Why is the UZI necessary I still don't understand but hey.

exactly, i mean what a fcking dumb redneck. what are they trying to prove? kids don't need to learn how to kill people. Uzi's are used to kill people.

I actually remember this story. I felt sorry for the little boy but I think I remember giving the parents and every adult involved multiple natural selection awards. I'm going to let my 8 year old handle an UZI, and on top of it his mentor in this particular case is a 15 year old CHILD?

FOH. They should all be under the jail just because people that stupid shouldn't be walking around amongst us.

And imo, the parents of the kid in the OP just got more stupid. You let someone who isn't EXTREMELY trained teach your kid how to handle an assault rifle? What?
